The transmission of vertical or horizontal structural forces to the supporting soil is a challenge to analyze for structures on elastic foundation which represent a complex medium. The two-parameter elastic foundation model ...

Although the strain based damage limits proposed in the existing Turkish Earthquake Code were adopted from reported studies of leading researchers, the appropriateness of these limit state definitions and corresponding ...

This book reports on current challenges in bridge engineering faced by professionals around the globe, giving a special emphasis to recently developed techniques and methods for bridge design, construction and monitoring. ...

A parametric study is conducted to investigate the dynamic shear amplification factor (DAF) in low-to-mid-rise frame-wall systems in which the reinforcement curtailment along the height matches the required code strength. ...

Recently proposed changes to modeling and acceptance criteria in seismic regulations for both flexure and shear dominated reinforced concrete structural walls suggest that a comprehensive examination is required for improved ...

In dynamic analyses, although there is no limitation for scale factors, the customary values vary from 0.25 to 4. However, these values are based on subjective judgments rather than a quantitative evaluation. This study ...

The main objective of the SERAMAR project has been to utilize current tools for earthquake risk assessment and to establish a unique partnership between universities, professional associations, and local governments, which ...

Halen geçerli olan Deprem Yönetmeliğinde önerilen birim şekil değiştirme hasar sınır değerleri, teknik literatürde mevcut önde gelen çalışmalardan alınmakla birlikte, bu değerlerin yer değiştirmeye dayalı tasarım ve ...
